New Work Bench

Mid March I drove to Austin to pick up 400 board feet of SYP to use in a new work bench. Here it is mid-July and I'm not finished, getting close but still need a couple three days or so to tie up the loose ends. It will be good one with a wagon vise on the right end and a leg vise on the left front leg. It will have a split top about 24" wide and will be almost 9' long. I've needed a bigger bench for awhile but there has always been more pressing things to fix and do. Photos to follow.

About Me

I’m an Ok guy. I’m a political junky, I work wood, cook, paint (not much lately), do photography, write about art,life, motorcycles, and wood. I fly airplanes for a living. For a guy that grew up on a West Texas dirt farm in the 40’s and 50’s, I’m OK. I don’t have much use for normal male activities like hunting and sports although I can scratch and ogle with the best of ‘em. I know which fork to use most of the time, I don’t say fuck unless it’s needed and for the most part I can get along in polite society. I’ve seen more of the world than most people have and I think I can say things about it that may be interesting.
